'Community Conversations' To Answer BCPS Families' Questions

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — The start of the school year online may be daunting for some families, so to help answer those questions, Baltimore County Public Schools will host two online forums during which time community superintendents Christina Byers (central zone), Dr. Racquel Jones (west zone) and Dr. George Roberts (east zone) will answer questions about the upcoming school year. The live "community conversations" will be held Monday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Aug. 27 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. The public will be able to view the community conversations on the BCPS website and on BCPS-TV.

BCPS invites the community to submit questions online through 4:45 p.m. on Friday. Questions can be submitted in English as well as Arabic, Burmese, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish, Urdu, Uzbek, and Vietnamese. The live community conversations will offer closed captions in English as well as Arabic, simplified Chinese, French, German, Spanish and Urdu. The three community superintendents will participate in an interview in Spanish with local journalist Pedro Palomino. The interview will be available on Facebook and YouTube before the end of August.
